Expecting Free Carry to take up the running with Smart Legend and Aged Care close at hand. SMART LEGEND (1) was a touch disappointing at the latest outing but the two wins prior were full of merit. Is one from one over this track and trip and a better showing would not surprise. PRINCE AKEEM (6) grows a leg for hoop Fry who has only missed a drum once in seven steers. High on confidence now and rates a genuine top-three contender on best form. SWATOW (9) is yet to miss a quinella spot in three attempts over this course and distance and shouldn't be underestimated. In the mix. The well-related FREE CARRY (3) (half to Listed winner and G3 placed Sheiswhatsheis) next in line from the favourable draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 1,6,9,3.
